Carrie : I’m looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can’t-live-without-each-other love. And I don’t think that love is here in this expensive suite in this lovely hotel in paris.

Carrie : That attitude, by the way, that awareness on the part of a woman that time is a-tickin’—it’s very sexy to a man.

Carrie : Think about it. If you are single, after graduation there isn’t one occasion where people celebrate you. … Hallmark doesn’t make a “congratulations, you didn’t marry the wrong guy” card. And where’s the flatware for going on vacation alone?

Carrie : People say ‘Everything happens for a reason.’ These people are usually women. And these women are usually sorting through a break-up. It seems that men can get out of a relationship without even a ‘Goodbye,’ But, apparently, women have to either get married or learn something.

To remember a simpler time when the best thing in life was just hanging out, listening to records and having fun with your friends. In your very own apartment.

Carrie : When you’re a teenager, all you want to do is buy beer. But once you hit 30 all you want to do is to get carded.

Really? i think that’s a very judgemental quote, I mean you can and will at some or the other point agree with some quote. After all similarities in way of thinking cannot be avoided in billions of people.. there are bound to agree somewhere…

Anywz, why I like the words, their meaning, how I relate with each of them, how they open so many new and old pages in front of me, the thoughts they derive from me.. I love it all….

I think that other people’s quotes are only meaningful to you if you can see some truth in them in regards to your own life. Doesn’t mean you aren’t thinking for yourself- it means someone else can put it into words better.
